Yes, FOSS is not always a answer to everything. Lets look at this issue at different angle. If 10 aliens come to earth which has super-duper brain and 100 times faster technology then us then will we earth people allow them to start their company ? In one month they can produce 1 Dollar video phone which will give you 3D presence. Do you think adopting their technology will be useful and should we allow them to establish their company? Should we allow them to become part of earth ? should we feel happy after accepting their technology? Most of you will answer No ! But why NO ? apply the same reasons with human beings too. Their are many people on earth those are worse then these aliens. power comes with responsibility. So, We need to remember that on earth , human-social system stability and equilibrium is needed at first priority and not technology. Most of the time when i extrapolate the technology development, it give me a totally negative picture. -- l...@iitd - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm
